A job search starts with creating a compelling resume. Although a resume's success lies in its content and not in its format, inputting your career and education history into an organized format gives the resume a clean first impression. Online resume tools make it easy to build a resume by supplying you with standard formats and easy text-input fields. Most online resume builders require premium membership to print out resumes but will let you create simple resumes for free. Other resume builders allow you to print and save resumes for free.
